Hemi Oil Pan/Pickup Question #987484 05/07/11 09:31 AM 05/07/11 09:31 AM

N95Hemi OP member N Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 7 CLE Ohio	I'm putting the stock oil pan/pickup on a 70 Hemi. Bought what I thought were the correct pieces (1/2" pickup). Went to install and have intereference. Either the pickup is too long or the pan is too short. Can someone provide the correct height/depth of a factory stock hemi oil pan. Thanks

The pickup has a shroud that rests on the pan bottom to hold the pickup screen off the bottom a little to allow flow. It sort of a failsafe design so the system still works if the piclup moves around or the pan bottom gets bent. I used Mancini's pan/pickup kit and it worked out fine.

Thanks It would be helpful to know how much interference there is. In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Want to make it all as stock as possible. Just for fun I already had the gaskets and tray gooped up and ready to go. Not a fun cleanup. Thanks

Maybe pictures of the pan and pickup would show either the wrong pickup or the wrong pan or even both wrong. Does the pan look like this? 6621723-Hemipan.jpg (38 downloads) Last edited by GomangoCuda; 05/07/11 10:21 AM. In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

I am not going to pull my pan off to see and I honestly don't remember which style it was. Anyone have a picture that they know for sure is correct?

OP did you just put the pickup in hand tight ?
